Subject: Emacs fails to use default locale
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:08:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B0D80A6.8010208@cornell.edu> (raw)

According to

   http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/envvar.html

if LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG are all either unset or empty, then the 
implementation-dependent default locale is supposed to be used.  My 
understanding is that this should be done by using setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 
"").  But emacs's locale initialization seems to just use the 
environment variables, so it doesn't pick up the default locale if the 
variables are unset.
